You'd told them no, you've never
But the actual truth was different
In this reality, the answer was hidden
A personal wall of secrecy
You chose to leave, then sever
All bonds of family, parents
Abandoning love for obscenity
And as you'd spent 20 years
The world had truly used you
In every way they had feared
Those drugs made you able to
Do things they told you not to
And now, you have no choice
All you have is time, still left
The streets are hard, so cold
For your next fix
To feel nothing finally again
You'd sold everything you had
There was nowhere to run or go
But there were those still there
Holding you in a heart space
Holding you up in prayers
For your well being, safety
Yes, you couldn't hear them
But they were always there
And when you surrender
They'll take and hold you
Keeping you the safe place
Of their hearts and homes
So when you feel
Nowhere left to roam
It is either suicide
Or dying on the street
Remember them
They are waiting
For you to call
To call home
